Vorticella

Phase contrast micrograph of a Vorticella cell from a sewage plant (left)
and a dark field micrograph of Vorticella from the Pacific Ozean (right).
It's quite hard to take a good picture of the ciliary crown from a moving cell. The ciliary crown can be recognized as a mist as shown at the upper end of the cell in the dark field micrograph.
